Vaudeville comedian Joe Frisco stars in this short subject that stretches a gag out
of all proportion.
Frisco and friend Bob Callahan decide to form an act and they get a booking in a movie theater. This was when vaudeville was dying and acts took what work they could find. Movie theater manage Billy Gilbert hires them to fill in between features and be ready at a moment's notice to go on stage.
Gilbert wasn't kidding as Frisco and Callahan keep going on and on, never getting a chance to eat or sleep. Must have been a 24 movie show.
The gag wasn't funny enough to carry the whole short subject. Still this is a good place to see Joe Frisco who was one of the best in vaudeville.
